Description
Two remarkable doctors share their stories in this fascinating biography. Grandmother and granddaughter Dr Sabrina Skopinska and Dr Monika Blackwell tell of their experiences, highlighting both similarities and stark differences. Their lives were marked by significant challenges, including the devastating impact of tuberculosis on patients in deprived communities. The grandmother's own life was tragically cut short in 1943, while working for an underground radio station in Warsaw. Her granddaughter, who qualified as a doctor in London, has followed in her footsteps, taking up general practice and continuing to treat patients during the Covid-19 pandemic. The stories of these two doctors offer valuable insights into their experiences, making for a compelling read.
